2019 • PSA 3 cert# 42885916 • BlowOut →
Sold on 11/16/2018 as a PSA 2.5 by Heritage Auctions to an unknown buyer for $1,800.00
Consigned to PWCC and sold on 4/9/2019 as a PSA 3 for $2,183.00
Value gain of $383.00
This card was won in Heritage Auctions' 2018 November 15-16 Fall Sports Card Auction by an unknown bidder. Interestingly, this Cobb came from the same auction as the PSA 4.5 Mantle which launched this thread. This leads me to believe that the winner of the Cobb and Mantle were likely the same person. Only Heritage could definitively answer that question.
What we do know is that this Cobb was an alteration gone wrong. There was a small flaw on the back of the PSA 2.5, which the attempted removal led to paper loss. Furthermore, the card has gone for a quick chemical bath, as evidenced by the brighter back and the removal of staining at the bottom. My guess is after the card doctor messed up with the paper loss, he decided to quit right there.
Red squares show the paper loss. Green rectangles show the artificially brightened bottom border. The wear in the gold leaf border on the front prove it is the same card.
